• High Yielder
• Prostrate Plant Form
• Superior Form for Ornamental and Shelterbelt Reasons
• Still One of our Favourites

 
Indigo Gem Haskap presents a delightful and intricately sweet flavour profile, culminating in a tangy finish. While it requires pruning to maintain its desired form, it's worth noting its susceptibility to mildew on leaves. However, the yearly impact does not seem to compromise the quality or quantity of berries. As one of the initial commercial releases, it features a robust skin, making it well-suited for processing purposes.

Companion Planting for Optimal Growth:

To ensure proper fruit set, Indigo Gem requires an unrelated companion plant. It pairs with Honeybee, and Aurora. Most growers are planting at a ratio of 2:1, with two Indigo Gem plants for every companion plant. Research conducted in Quebec on various haskap varieties has shown that yields can be significantly higher when companion plants are placed in the same row for pollination purposes. When selecting companions for commercial purposes please feel free to call Curtis to discuss.

Features of Companion Cultivars:

• Aurora: Known for its superior taste, Aurora has a sweeter profile due to its lower acidity, making it a favourite among growers and consumers alike.
• Honeybee: Excellent pollenizer for Indigo Gem, ensuring abundant fruit set and excellent crop yields.
• Please refer to our compatibility chart on our “favourite links” page for more companion options.
